Lacrosse stick head mounting system

Abstract

A lacrosse stick head has a protrusion at a base of the lacrosse stick head, which internally mounts to the lacrosse stick handle or pole. The protrusion has an angled end, which makes contact with the angled end of the wedged end cap. The protrusion and the wedged end cap are drawn together via a screw through the centerline of the lacrosse stick head and mated to a threaded wedged end cap, creating a wedging force internal to the lacrosse stick handle or pole, and uniting of the lacrosse stick head to the lacrosse stick handle or pole.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A lacrosse stick head comprising:
 a first wedge surface of a base and an oblique wedged end cap and a head longitudinal axis, the oblique wedged end cap disposed proximate to the first wedge surface, and the head longitudinal axis substantially coaxial with a head base longitudinal axis; and   a head assembly comprising the lacrosse stick head and the oblique wedged end cap inserted into a handle with a fastener passing through a throat of the lacrosse stick head and substantially coaxial with the head longitudinal axis.   
     
     
         2 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the handle is selected from the group consisting of:
 circular,   square,   triangular,   oval, and   polygon.   
     
     
         3 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 1 , wherein an angle of the first wedge surface relative to the head longitudinal axis is selected from the group consisting of:
 oblique,   acute,   nonzero,   positive,   30°, and   45°.   
     
     
         4 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 1 , wherein contact between the first wedge surface and the oblique wedged end cap can be repositioned relative to each other to create an offset relative to an axial position of the first wedge surface and the oblique wedged end cap that resists rotation of the lacrosse stick head about the handle longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         5 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 1 , wherein contact between the first wedge surface and the oblique wedged end cap can be repositioned relative to each other to create an offset relative to an axial position of the first wedge surface and the oblique wedged end cap that resists longitudinal motion of the lacrosse stick head along the handle longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         6 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is selected from the group consisting of:
 a head screw,   a bolt,   a rivet,   a spike, and   an anchor.   
     
     
         7 . A lacrosse stick head mounting system, comprising:
 a head having a throat and a basket, the head fastened to a handle by a fastener, the throat having a planar throat surface at an oblique angle to an axis of rotation of the fastener through the throat, an oblique wedged end cap comprising a planar handle surface at the oblique angle to the axis of rotation, the planar handle surface contacting the planar throat surface to resist rotation of the head about the axis of rotation.   
     
     
         8 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 7 , wherein a cross-section of the handle is selected from the group consisting of:
 circular,   square,   triangular,   oval, and   polygon.   
     
     
         9 . The lacrosse stick head of  claim 7 , wherein the fastener is selected from the group consisting of:
 a head screw,   a bolt,   a rivet,   a spike, and   an anchor.
